Pros

Most of the colleagues are interesting and fun to be around Free icecream Pay is ok

Cons

No progression possibility whatsoever based on competence/ quality If you are not a yes man and question things managers will make your life miserable All key positions are from Irish people although there are over 12 nationalities here and many professional, competent and experienced people among them, many positions did not even opened and were given, surprisingly many of those people were either relatives or boyfriends/ girlfriends of managers Its a gaming company but you have no gaming time at all, wanna know your product use your free time Moral is low, several people have left only a few months after arriving many others are just waiting for an alternative No concern about customers, only superficially to please higher management and present figures that will boost stocks and their bonuses Break/ lunch hours are completely random and sometimes you can work for 5/ 6 hours without having lunch Canteen prices are high
